I will Write

I visited my aunt’s place last March 1. When I arrived my aunt is with my youngest niece AJ. She is one year old. She is one of my cousin’s children whom I love most. Unfortunately she barely sees me so she does not recognized me at all not like her kuya and ate whom I have taken care when I am still staying in La Union. She likes me though. She lets me carry her and play with her.

I remembered in Christmas when I visited them during our Family reunion I was carrying her while dancing and I later noticed that she fell asleep with it. I was so happy. Hehe.

Later that day during my last visit we were playing then she would ask me to sit beside her in their altar. Then while we were playing I started telling her “Tita”. And so I repeated “Tita” while she just smiles and runs around the house. And after awhile she said “Tita” while laughing and looking at me. And so I clapped and told her “Ang galeng galeng ni naneng.” Then I started to tell my name “Ricci”. I wanted her to remember me though she barely sees me just like her siblings. I did the same thing of repeating my name. After her listening to me even if she runs around and play she said “Sissi”. That is how children often remember my name.

I was so happy.

I hope this Holy Week she’d remember me.

I was happy she learned to speak Tita Sissi. And I will always remember how I did it.
